Midnight Confessions

For this tutorial you will need :

PSP and AS ( I use psp 9 and as 3, but this should work for any version)

2 tubes of your choice, preferably one close up. I have used the Gorgeous Pin Ups Toons from Rion Vernon, available for use on licence from CILM

Fancy script type font of your choice,

You will also need a mask and 2 blings of your choice, sorry I am not supplying the ones i have used :0)

No outside filters or anything!

Ok lets rock!………

Open up the supplies folder, and open, and minimise the mask in psp.

New Transparent image sized 450 wide by 650 Long.

Flood fill with a silvery gradient of your choice ( just using whatever comes with your version of psp is cool )

New Layer, and Floodfill with black.

Next we will apply the mask layer, so - Layers > New Mask Layer> From Image, then from the drop down menu, select our mask

On the layers pallet, right click, Merge > Merge Group.

On the tag, use your selection tool to select the box area of the centre of the tag.

Now, open and duplicate your close up image, close out the original to preserve it.

On the duplicate, go to Image > Grey Scale, Copy this, and paste as new Layer onto your tag.

Arrange it to your liking in the selected area, then Selections > Invert, and on the keyboard hit Delete.

On the layers palette lower the opacity to around 40%

Open up your second tube, Copy, then Paste onto the tag as New layer, position to your liking

Edit > Paste > Into Selected frame and position in another one of the corner boxes - repeat twice more so all 4 corners are “blinged”

Now Open a second bling of your choice. Once you have that, Paste it into the tag, same way as you did before, but placing it in the side bars this time, and repeat so you have blings on both sides - I flipped my bling, so they went in opposite directions, i also changed its colour to make it stand out more :0)
